DEPARTMENT OF LABOR


Re-Establishment of the Advisory Committee on Veterans' 
Employment, Training and Employer Outreach (ACVETEO)

AGENCY: Veterans' Employment and Training Service, Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee on Veterans' Employment, Training, and 
Employer Outreach (ACVETEO) was reestablished on March 30, 2011 as a 
federal advisory committee within the Department of Labor.

[[Page 34253]]

    The ACVETEO's authorizing legislation is codified at 38 U.S.C. 
4110. It is established in accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, as amended.
    The ACVETEO is responsible for assessing employment and training 
needs of Veterans and their integration into the workforce; determining 
the extent to which the programs and activities of the Department of 
Labor (DOL) are meeting such needs; assisting the Assistant Secretary 
of Veterans' Employment and Training (ASVET) in outreach to employers 
regarding training and skills of Veterans and advantages afforded 
employers by hiring Veterans; making recommendations to the Secretary 
of Labor, through the ASVET, with respect for outreach activities and 
the employment and training of Veterans; and carrying out such other 
activities necessary to making required reports and recommendations. 
The statute requires the ACVETEO to meet at least quarterly and to 
submit an annual report by December 31 of each year on the prior year's 
activities to the Secretary and the Committees on Veterans' Affairs of 
the House of Representatives and the Senate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As established by statute, the membership of 
the ACVETEO must consist of at least 12, but no more than 16, 
individuals appointed by the Secretary of Labor:
     Seven individuals, one each from among representatives 
nominated by each of the following service organizations: the Society 
for Human Resource Management, the Business Roundtable, the National 
Association of State Workforce Agencies, the United States Chamber of 
Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, a nationally 
recognized labor union or organization, and the National Governors 
Association.
     Not more than five individuals from among representatives 
nominated by veterans' service organizations that have a national 
employment program.
     No more than five individuals who are recognized 
authorities in the fields of business, employment, training, 
rehabilitation, or labor and who are not employees of the Department of 
Labor.
    In addition, the following, or their representatives, are ex-
officio, non-voting members: Secretaries of Veterans Affairs and 
Defense; Director of the Office of Personnel Management; Assistant 
Secretary of Labor for Veterans' Employment and Training; the Assistant 
Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training; and the Administrator 
of the Small Business Administration.
    The ACVETEO is a non-discretionary advisory committee required by 
law and provides valuable advice to the Secretary of Labor. Therefore, 
the Department has determined that it is necessary and in the public 
interest to reestablish the committee.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Veterans' Employment and Training 
Service (VETS) is responsible for providing the necessary support for 
the ACVETEO. The Director, Strategic Outreach and Legislative Affairs 
within VETS will serve as the Designated Federal Official (DFO). 
Individuals requesting further information should contact Nancy Hogan, 
Designated Federal Official, at (202) 693-4700.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 7th day of June 2011.
John McWilliam,
Deputy Assistant Secretary. Veterans' Employment and Training Service.
